I went to the Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park wetlands this morning to see if a Le Conte’s Sparrow was still there.  I found it around 8:35 a.m. not too far from the far southeast pond in a low growth area, where it has been seen in recent days.  It perched for me so that I could clearly see its field marks, including the buffy yellow face and buffy breast and sides with some streaking, the white crown stripe, and the purplish streaks on the nape.  A lot of Savannah Sparrows in the area, too.
